Product Description
Introducing Tag Reading System, the revolutionary touch reading system that brings reading to life like never before. Tag engages children to make reading a rich, fulfilling experience. Children simply touch the Tag Reader (which looks like an electronic pen) to the book's pages, and words talk, characters sing and stories fly off the pages. With a huge library of hardcover books and games including favorite TV, movie and classic tales, each Tag Book allows children to learn at their own pace, building their skills and their confidence. Plus, by connecting the Tag Reader to the online LeapFrog Learning Path, parents can see what their child is learning -- and even receive recommendations on what books their child could read next! Includes Tag Reader, plus the "Ozzie and Mack" Book; additional Tag Books sold separately. Tag Reader requires two "AAA" batteries, not included.

Love the Toy But did have problems with internet August 10, 2008
I bought this for my five year old daughter. She loves the toy! It reads the storys well and the games are fun. The only problem we have with it is when we downloaded the software from the internet the server was busy and kept cutting us off and starting over. There is a FAQ on there that has an alternative download if you are having problems. After we found this everything else worked flawlessly! I wish you could put more books on there!
It does what is says... August 9, 2008
The LeapFrog Tag Reading System does what it says, it gives your child a hand held tutor for reading a Tag book. The "read the entire page" function is helpful when the child does not want to read the book, but only hear the story. Initially I thought that this feature was defeating the purpose of getting my child to read the book, but I discovered later that it actually increased his enthusiasm to try to read it by himself. I did find though, that the word games provided the most interactive experience for him. He liked the story comprehension challenges that the game questions posed.
In short, he memorized all of the words of all the three books I bought him. At first I thought this practice defeated the purpose of teaching him how to decode words, but after placing him in a summer reading program, I was informed that word memorization was actually the preferred method of sentence decoding. After trying to explain the rules of phonics and vowel usage for words like "rough", "tough", "brought", "know" and "said"...I surrendered to the word memorization method. It seems to be working for him, but occasionally he does go back to word decoding by way of phonics.

My Kids Love The Tag Reading System! July 31, 2008
1 out of 1 found this review helpful
I originally bought 1 pen and 1 book for my 5 year old daughter to try out. She loved it! Then, my 3 year old son started to play with it as well. Needless to say we now own 2 pens and 8 books. They are great for riding in cars or just sitting on the couch. The only downfall is that you can only store so many books on the pen at once. Other than that I am a very happy owner.
Real Literature! Real Fun! July 27, 2008
1 out of 1 found this review helpful
I could not be more excited about the Tag Reading System! The highly portable pen and use of real literature are important developments in interactive reading technology. This system grows with a child, developing a toddler's prereading skills, expanding an emerging reader's sight word recognition, and fostering a young student's love of literature. As a parent and educator, I highly recommend the Tag System for both home and school.
